The true difference between fountain pen and any of the ball/capillary action inventions is CONTROL.

Counter-intuitive, but even as fountain pen drips and spits and grinds to dry, you're so much in control of your lines. And modernised pens manufacture a line that's thick and dumb and sort of sleepy.

The best explanation of this joy of good pen I've seen in Hero:

Just last night I watched this recent PBS Space Time video on the various Moon-formation theories, including a new variation on the Theia model revealed via computer modeling:

Ducking adorable 🥰

cop: how’d the pizza go missing?
him: it was the cat
cop: there was no cat
him: someone broke in
cop: the doors were locked
him: it wasn’t me
cop: there's cheese on your nose
him: i want a lawyer

Good Morning 🥰💜
What are you doing there? 👀

Sometimes Pixel is a very dignified cat; sometimes... less so.

Interesting graph shared by Caitlin Johnstone showing that hourly pay for workers [adjusted for inflation] basically flatlined after the early 1970s, while productivity continued to climb.

Her comment: "The dark blue line after 1973 is theft. They stole that money from their workers. But nothing happened, because capitalism legalizes theft from the working class by the capitalist class."

Too true!

Ok, this is cool: a team of biologists worked out that turtles can talk. The hatchlings even talk to each other in the egg to coordinate their hatching. Turtle talk is at frequencies not very audible for humans and it can take hours for some species to reply to each other.

“Had we had a bit more expansive imaginations, we might have caught this earlier,” said Karen Bakker, a fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

This is a portrait by an artist and poet called Radical Rhymes. The portrait is of my beloved cat, Whiskers, who passed away. I will always love him and I miss him. All my rescue cats are like my kids. I hope all you #cat lovers enjoy the portrait.
